THE PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A MOLDED CARBON ARTICLE COMPRSING THE STEPS OF: (A) PREPARING A CARBON POWDER HAVING PARTICLES VARYING IN SIZE; (B) PREPARING A BINDER CONSISTING OF FROM 60%-80% PHENOL FORMALDEHYDE AND 20%-40% PHENOL DIALCOHOL; (C) INTIMATELY MIXING SAID POWDER AND BINDER IN A PROPORTION OF 70%-90% BY WEIGHT POWDER AND 10%-30% BY WEIGHT BINDER SO AS TO COAT SAID PARTICLES WITH SAID BINDER; (D) MOLDING SAID COATED POWDER UNDER A PRESSURE IN THE 800-10,000 P.S.I. RANGE AT AN INITIAL TEMPERATURE OF 175*-225*F; (E) EVACUATING GASES AND REACTION PRODUCTS FROM SAID COATED POWDER DURING MOLDING; (F) GRADUALLY INCREASING THE MOLDING TEMPERATURE 5*10*F. PER MINUTE UNTIL A FINAL TEMPERATURE OF 300*600*F. IS REACHED; (G) POST CURING THE MOLDED ARTICLE AT SUBSTANTIALLY ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURES AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE 300*600*F. RANGE FOR A PERIOD OF ONE-FOUR HOURS; AND (H) FURTHER HEATING SAID ARTICLE ABOVE SAID CURING TEMPERATURE AT A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENT T FULLY CARBONIZE OR GRAPHITIZE THE ARTICLE CONTENTS.
